We deliver our HR and L&D qualifications through over 270 accredited universities, colleges and professional training providers in the UK and internationally. These training providers are at the heart of our qualifications.

The CIPD currently have good provision of our qualifications and are not actively looking to award new study centres. Our focus is on working with our existing centres to ensure the best possible student experience and the continued growth and improvement of the profession.

You can provide detailed market research in your field of enquiry.

You can deliver CIPD qualifications in geographic regions requiring further provision.
